Hurricane Florence

Latest EURO has it bouncing down the SC coast now instead of stalling out off NC/VA.

 

Link?

 

Please be safe out there everyone, and special thanks to the first responders who will be leaving their homes and/or familes to protect the public.

 

Yeah, I saw that, lets hope it stays that way.. no disrespect to anyone in those areas..

 

None taken...because I was liking it staying north as previously thought. I imagine it’ll be doing a lot of shifting.

 

Charlotte motor speedway is opening up for evacuees

 

Atlanta Speedway as well...

 

Ouch. I'm sure it'll change 10 more times before it actually makes landfall though.

 

There is this too

 

There’s 270 beds at work.....

 

That's what I've seen too. Hitting the coast on the SC/NC line and shooting west into SC. This windy.com website is pretty nifty. The difference in the ECMWF and GFS is crazy.

 

Shitty old 5 gal fuel cans previously used for diesel are for sale for $30 each...brand new ones are $40. WTF...wonder what I can sell mine for full of gas? $500 maybe?

 

Tomorrow, yes... maybe more

 

By the time they get ALL the runs (up to landfall) one could have an awesome bowl of pasta. Who has the best sauce recipe?

 

Nash Rocky Mount schools have a 2 hour early release tomorrow and school is cancelled Thursday/ Friday officially.

 

I lived there all my life...through Hugo, Floyd, Gaston, Matthew and Irma and ever since Hugo the media over reacts. Yes, there will be flooding bc like you said, 1" of rain at high tide and the peninsula floods. Just saying Lane reversal, mandatory evac and the everything shutting down is overkill.

It may indeed shift south and some models are indicating that but it won't be as bad as they say. No hugo or prolly even Matthew w out a 75 mile shift to the South. 50 knot winds extend out only 60 miles, as of now. Meaning a Wilmington landfall and CHS doesn't come close to seeing hurricane force winds. If it shifts, watch out.

 

We bout to be reminded what living at the beach can be here in Wilmington

 

A slight change in the GFS model. She doesn't hang out on the coast in this one

 

We left Topsail Island this morning to head home to Va. normal traffic. Week vacation lasted 3 days, luckily we had vacation insurance. You who stay be safe.

 

U Haul is offering 30 day's free storage for those in the path of the storm.
